Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
In case you haven’t seen it–or you need to revisit it–Anchorman was one of Will Ferrell’s breakout hits in the early 2000s. Going from Saturday Night Live sensation to cannon fodder for Austin Powers, Ferrell starred as the titular Ron Burgundy, San Diego’s number one TV news anchor in a time when cable ruled the airwaves. Having become very comfortable in the male-dominated world of news, Burgundy faces a new challenge, when rising reporter Veronica Corningstone–played by Christina Applegate–turns his world upside down.
Also, Burgundy’s on-air weather reporter Brick Tamland actually murders a man from another TV station in a brutal news team brawl. Why is he not in jail? We don’t know, but Brick totally did kill a guy, using a trident. In addition to Ferrell, the film also starred Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and Fred Willard.
